Psalms 15

1 “A psalm of David.” Lord, who may sojourn in thy tent? who may dwell on thy holy mount?

A psalm of David. Lord, who can be guest in your tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?

2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart;

The person whose walk is blameless, whose conduct is right, whose words are true and sincere;

3 That uttereth no calumny with his tongue, that doth no evil to his neighbor, and bringeth no reproach on his fellow-man;

on whose tongue there sits no slander, who will not harm a friend,

4 In whose eyes the despicable is despised; but that honoreth those who fear the Lord; that sweareth to his own injury, and changeth not;

nor cruelly insult a neighbour, who regards with contempt those rejected by God; but honours those who obey the Lord, who keeps an oath, whatever the cost,

5 That putteth not out his money for interest, and taketh no bribe against the innocent. He that doth these things shall not be moved to eternity.

whose money is lent without interest, and never takes a bribe to hurt the innocent. The person who does these things will always stand firm.
